Fourteen men were seriously, and it is
feared some of them fatally burned by an
explosion of gasoline at 90S Samson
street, Philadelphia, Pa, recently. The
oil was thrown over the men, and in an
instant all were in flames. They rushed
into the street in the widest alarm, and
created great excitement in the neighbor-

their aid, and several of them were
thrown into the street in the eager en-
deavOr to tear their burning clothes from
their backs. All were badly burned about
the face, hands and body, and were re-
moved to the hospital in pitiable condi-
ton.
The Dutch steamer W. A. Scholten,
Capt. Taat, which left Rotterdam on the
morning of the 18th inst. for New York,
was sunk by collision with the steamer
Rosa Mary of Hartlepool at IL O'Clock
that night 10 miles off Dover. The Schol-
ten carried a complement of 30 passen-
gers and crew. The steamer Ebro of
Sunderland rescued 90 of the crew and
passengers and landed them at the Sailors
Home, Dover. One hundred and forty of
the passengers are missing. One passen-
ger and child of the party brought to
DoVer were found dead from exposure.
1t is hoped that passing vessels have res
cued the missing ones.

In Georgia an aggregate of 81, 900
votes elected the congressman, and
an MARYLAND there were enough fraud
ulent names left on the list to carry
the election for the democrats. These
facts ordinarily should attract atten-
ton, as dishonest voting is thought
bv many to be bad thing. 1t IS,
however, not proper TO allude 20 any
suppression of the ballot or to aay
democratic thimble-rigging at the
ballot box at the south. 1t only
serves to reopen the wounds OF war;
and to irritate a great, impulsive, and
generous section, who never do any

Something of the peculiar charac-
ter of the anarchists the whole world
over may be seen by the action of
those in Milan, Italy, who have be-
come so infatuated over the just pun
ishment inflicted upon several of
their number in Chicago, that they
distributed handbills and posted
placards all over the city vOwing ven
geance on all in any way connected
with the fate of their political friends
in America. In fact, so threatening
were their actions, that a special
police force was placed around the
United States Consulate to protect it
from the mad violence of those mis-
guided men.

The frantic manner with which the
democratic success in New York is
heralded as the lend of Blaine" is
overdone. The confidence that there
is no more of Blaine as a candidate
seems worked up, and it also shows
how much Mr.. Blaine is feared as a
leader. This exaltation carries with
it a suspicious look as regards the
certainty that it is all up with Blaine
in 1888. Friends of Cleveland have
all along been saying that Blaine
was the easiest man to beat. If
they did not lie they would not now
be rejoicing because a harder task
was before them in new republican
candidate. The New York election
settles it, that ordinarily, with the
liquor interest and fund in its con-
troll, the state goes democratic. Fol-
republicans to carry it means some
one as presidential nominee who can
take a slice from the democratic
lump. 1t is all in a nutshell, an6
the only question is who can crack
the shell and get the meat.-AdUer

There is something encouraging In
the decision of Judge of the supreme
court of Pennsylvania in regard to
the qualifications of jurors. The rule
commonly insisted upon in selecting
a jury is that a man is disqualified
for such service if he has read the
newspaper reports of a crime and
formed an opinion upon the set of
facts there presented. 1t is assumed
that he is incapable of forming a new
opinion from the evidence laid before
him at the trial. The question before
the Pennsylvania justice was an APP
peal taken from a lower court on the
ground that one of the jurors had adj
mitted that, through newspaper re-
ports, he had, prior to the trial, some
what familiarized himself with the
case in hand-tO the extent of form
ing tentative opinion thereon. The
Judge refused the appeal, and in do
ing so took occasion to say that
man who cannot or does not read the
newspapers is not qualified to serve
as a juror at all.
